Destiny 2 'Season of the Drifter' Update 2.2.0 Changelog

We all drift down here.

That's right, Destiny 2's "Season of the Drifter" is out today and that means a new update for the game has come out. Today, Bungie released the 2.2.0 update that contains all sorts of changes and additions and probably nerfs to your favorite class that used to be able to skate around at mach speeds but can no longer do so because "screw you, Zips!"

What was I saying?

Oh right, Season of the Drifter is the latest content release for Destiny 2. Let's just look at the changelog before I forget what I was doing again.

Destiny 2 Update 2.2.0 "Season of the Drifter"

Tower

The Tower Annex Landing Zone is now available to all players

The Drifter has relocated to the Annex in the Tower

Clans

Daily clan bounties have been removed

Once again, clan XP in Season 6 can be earned simply by completing activities

Clan weekly bounties have been renamed to "Hawthorne's Bounties" to differentiate them from the raid challenges that are also in Hawthorne's inventory

These Hawthorne Bounties are organized into 3 fixed categories: PvE, PvP, and raid

Raid challenge bounties will continue to be available on Hawthorne for the Last Wish and Scourge of the Past raids

Some new clan perks have been added for Season 6, and some old clan perks have returned

In most cases, Grenade Launchers gained three rounds in reserves, but this amount may vary based on the perks you have (Field Prep, etc.)

KNOWN ISSUE: Starting ammo in PvE was reduced, this will be fixed in a future patch

Magazine perks and mods no longer affect ammo reserves

The Quick Access Sling mod can now be applied to any archetype; this change also allows it to be applied to the Mountaintop

NOTE: This change also fixes the Militia's Birthright being able to slot the Backup Mag mod; this mod did not actually increase the magazine size on this weapon and was not intended to be applied to breech loaded Grenade Launchers

Rocket Launchers

PvE damage increased by 60–65%

Cluster Bomb

Damage reduced by 80%

This lost damage was moved to the Rocket Launcher's main projectile

Linear Fusion Rifles

PvE damage increased by 10% (does not affect Sleeper Simulant)

Reduced aim assist

Removed aim assist bonus from Combat Sights scope

Fixed an issue where Queenbreaker had double the amount of aim assist

PvE damage increased by 115% against boss combatants and scaling up to 160% against weaker combatants

Fixed an issue with Burnout Sparrow that would cause the Guardian's hands to not always grip the handlebars

A shader from the Curse of Osiris expansion formerly named "Metallic Sunrise" has been renamed to "Mercurian Sunrise." This was to resolve a duplicate name issue with a Forsaken shader, the name of which remains "Metallic Sunrise"

Fixed lens flare effects on several ship engines
